Question: Hi there, my friend Jenny Johty has put me onto your wonderful site by giving me some hand and body lotion. She knows that I love smelling, using and growing lavender. I have just joined your membership, but was wondering if you can tell me where you can purchase bulk amounts of the Lavender Augustifolia ''twickel purple'' that you describe on your web site? Thank you, Robyn Crocker. Answer:
Hi Robyn
Welcome to the MBL membership. It is wonderful to hear how much you like lavender. It is such a great and versatile plant.
Your local nursery should be able to get lavender plants from ‘Larkman Nurseries’. This is a wholesale nursery for trade sales only. Address PO Box 567, Lilydale, Vic 3140. Ph: 03 9735 3831. They sell tubestock (which is a good way to buy lavenders) but they do have minimum quantities of approx 80 plants.
I have just looked at the list and it seems that they do not have twickel purple in stock at the moment. So I will get back to you with a comparable substitute or another supplier. There are so many varieties and many are similar.
